Keri Glassman, MS, RD, CDN, is a renowned celebrity nutritionist, healthy cooking expert, and wellness thought-leader. She is the founder and CEO of Nutritious Life and The Nutritious Life Studio, a Today Show Tastemaker, and a contributing editor and advisory board member for Women’s Health Magazine. She is the author of four bestselling books, including The New You and Improved Diet and The O2 Diet. She’s also regularly featured on national television programs like The Today Show, Good Morning America, and The Rachael Ray Show and is a prolific contributor and commentator for countless other top media outlets.

Keri is known for her “whole person” approach to health and wellness, which is the premise on which Nutritious Life was built. This includes focusing on sleep, stress, love, self-care, environment and exercise in addition to food and hydration. Her effective methodologies have helped thousands of clients and millions of others through media over the past two decades, and she knows that it is often a struggle for dietitians, nutritionists, and others working in health and fitness to find their footing in the field, especially those are are at the start of their career. Sharing her many years of expertise in this course puts our students on the fast track to success.

As Keri says, “There’s a really big gap between getting your degree in clinical nutrition and then being able to apply it and have a private practice and actually help people. I want to bridge the gap for RDs and also embrace other people out there who are not RDs and are already giving out nutrition information,” like health coaches, writers, personal trainers, nurses, and even parents. 

The Nutritious Life Studio is the perfect platform to help passionate individuals build successful careers based on up-to-date information.

The Nutritious Life Studio by Keri Glassman is an online education platform. The Become a Nutrition Coach program is its signature nutrition training program consisting of two parts: the Foundational Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program and the Master Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program.

The purpose of the Foundational Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program is to provide nutrition education as a springboard for building a successful career and/or for growing an existing career in the health and wellness industry. With 4 Modules and over 20 Lessons, you’ll learn the basics of nutrition science, gain confidence in your coaching skills, and embark on building your wellness business. Upon completion of the Foundational Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program, you’ll be ready to start seeing clients as a Nutritious Life Certified Nutrition and Wellness Coach while you complete the second part of your training. This allows many of our students to recoup their tuition investment by the time they’ve completed the entire program!

The Master Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program is the second part of the program. It consists of 20 Modules and 101 Lessons, and it’s the most robust training you can receive in nutrition, coaching, and business – there’s nothing else like it on the market today. You’ll refine your skills and gain even more knowledge in order to be able to coach a wide variety of clients as a Nutritious Life Master Certified Nutrition and Wellness Coach.

A Nutrition Coach, or a Nutrition and Wellness Coach, works with clients on accountability, behavior changes, education, and incorporating healthy habits that will contribute to their overall wellness and nutrition goals. They are their client’s biggest motivator, educator, and guide, and they help clients through every step of their journey. 

A Nutrition and Wellness Coach does not diagnose, prescribe, or directly treat chronic conditions, practice Medical Nutrition Therapy, or prescribe meal plans. They are someone who can truly help clients set—and reach—their health-related and nutrition goals. They understand the challenges each individual client faces with their health history and eating habits, and they create a strategy to help them overcome their obstacles to make lasting changes in their diet and lifestyle. 

A Nutrition and Wellness Coach empowers clients to make the best food and wellness decisions to live healthier, happier lives. Nutrition and wellness coaches, through their knowledge, mastery of human behavior, coaching skills, accountability, guidance, and encouragement are the agents of change the world needs to make the planet a better place.

Becoming a Nutrition and Wellness Coach may start with learning science, but it ends with changing people’s lives for the better.

The Nutritious Life Studio’s Become a Nutrition Coach program is for anyone who has a passion for nutrition, health, and wellness and wants to help themselves and others live a more nutritious life! We have students ranging from those interested in simply learning more about nutrition or contemplating a career—or even a side gig!— in wellness, to fitness professionals, chefs and experienced registered dietitians, and everything in between. 

While a master’s degree is great, we know that it’s not realistic for everyone. We designed the program both for RDs who are looking for a specific business plan to follow, as well as others who are looking to learn pertinent nutrition, how to coach clients, and how to launch a business. If you have less exposure to nutrition, then the Become a Nutrition Coach program is the perfect way to receive an education in nutrition and learn the practical side of how to help clients and build a business. For those already in the field, the program is a great way for you to boost your expertise, offer more value to your clients, and grow your business and brand.

We definitely understand juggling busy schedules. The course is designed so that you can complete each lesson on your own time. Yep, that could mean PJs on, feet kicked up, with a warm cuppa joe or knocking it out during your corporate lunch hour. 

After you finish each lesson, you’ll download study materials and resources, and take the time you need to let the info soak in. An hour (if you’re already super familiar with the subject), a day, a week, a month — it’s up to you! Then, you’ll take a quiz. In order to progress to the next lesson, you need to pass the quiz to unlock the following lesson – so you can pace yourself and complete the sessions on your own time. 

We recommend completing between 3 – 4 lessons per week to complete the Foundational Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program portion within the first month, and completing at least one module per week for a 5-month completion of the Master Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program portion – but it’s totally up to you to take the time you need!

In general, the course can be broken up into the following 100 hours: 30 hours of video lessons, 30 hours of review and quizzes and 40 hours of live activities. Almost everyone in the program has another job or is a full-time student, and the feedback that we always receive is that there is plenty of time to get through the coursework even with a busy, stressful schedule.

There are weekly Zoom sessions for you to engage with students and Nutritious Life team members, ask questions and gain support. These live calls include study halls, book club discussions, Q&As, and bonus webinars and are what our community members look forward to most each week!  You’ll build life-long friendships, find business partners and collaborators, and create your own network of meaningful connections. 

While we encourage participation, none of these live classes are mandatory.

The Nutritious Life Studio’s Become a Nutrition Coach program is the only program of its kind developed by a registered dietitian with more than twenty years of experience counseling clients through every type of health problem. This program marries the latest research and real life experience.

The Become a Nutrition Coach program is unique because it provides a blueprint for solving any problem, arming you with solutions and handing you the building blocks to coach clients and/or build a wellness business. 

Enrolling in the program gives you direct access to Keri Glassman, the Nutritious Life team, and the Nutritious Life Studio community—a support system of hundreds of nationally recognized nutritionists, physicians, fitness experts, coaches, and more. Our students tell us that they feel incredibly supported throughout their entire journey in the program, from enrollment to far beyond graduation and building their own businesses.

Keri Glassman and her team at Nutritious Life reach beyond a healthful diet and take a whole person approach to health and wellness, both inside and out. 

Nutritious Life teaches people to listen to their bodies and empowers them with the support and tools they need to create change towards an enriching and balanced life. Really, food is just one piece of the nutrition pie. There are 8 pillars that make up a Nutritious Life that will be discussed during the course. Each one is equally important to personal well being and combined make up the “whole person.” 

We do cover various diets and dietary philosophies in the course from an educational perspective, even if they are not considered part of Nutritious Life’s own philosophy. Learning about all dietary approaches and being able to coach clients properly who may have questions or interests in a certain diet is an important skill that every Nutrition and Wellness Coach should have, and we ensure our grads are fully prepared with the knowledge they need to help clients with all different needs and requirements.

Yes! 30% of the Foundational Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program and 25% of the Master Nutrition and Wellness Coach Program is dedicated to teaching you how to build and grow your business. We cover everything from how to create and launch a product, to branding, marketing, and selling, to legal and financial considerations, and beyond. 

Even if you’re only interested in using your certification for personal transformation or to help your loved ones, we’re confident you’ll still get so much out of the business portion of the program. We’re thrilled to share with you the experiences we’ve had in our 20+ years in business, including both brick-and-mortar and digital businesses. So, no matter what type of health and wellness business you are looking to start or grow, we’ve got you covered!

We offer incredible tools for launching a product and/or business from start to finish, including the Ultimate Business Plan and the Ultimate Product Launch Plan. These are the guides you will create and follow to build your dream business and obtain the financial success you envision for yourself.

Yes! Even if you do not want a career entirely in nutrition coaching, your certification can help you in other roles in your life. We have plenty of students who enroll in our course without the intention of ever creating a business, and many who surprise themselves and decide to create one after they graduated because they are so inspired and motivated from what they learned.

If you are passionate and committed, you will get the education, motivation, and support you need to live your most Nutritious Life, as well as provide one for those around you. We encourage you to enroll, and remember space is limited!

Please note each state has different laws regarding the credentials and licenses required for nutrition advice and meal planning. Please check your state’s laws before writing meal plans or providing nutritional advice for clients. This program and related materials are intended for general educational purposes only.

RDNs are the experts in the field of nutrition and have a degree in nutrition, dietetics or public health, with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. They’ve completed an internship, taken a licensing exam and often specialty exams, and are maintaining continuing education hours, similar to a doctor, nurse or other medical professionals. RDNs work everywhere, including hospitals, community settings, food service, health care offices, private practice, and academia. The Nutritious Life team members who teach the nutrition lessons in our course and engage with our community are registered dietitians with master’s degrees.

With the Become a Nutrition Coach Program you will feel confident that the information you are receiving is indeed reputable, research-based, and backed by a team of experts. With so much conflicting nutrition information out there, it can be tough knowing who to trust. We assure you that our information is cutting-edge and at the forefront of nutrition education.

The term nutritionist is not regulated, but someone may receive this title depending on which certification program they take. From The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: 

There is no uniform definition for the title “nutritionist,” and those states that define nutritionist in statutes or regulations define it variantly. Some state licensure boards have enacted legislation that regulates use of the title nutritionist and/or sets specific qualifications for holding the title, often but not uniformly including an advanced degree in nutrition. The Academy believes that all RDs are nutritionists but not all nutritionists are RDs. Refer to your state licensure board for your state’s specific licensing act.

So, as you can see, the term nutritionist is a generic term that can be applied to anyone who offers general nutrition advice. It is not regulated in the same way that the title dietitian is regulated, but a registered dietitian might call themselves a nutritionist as this umbrella term can apply to anyone who shares this type of knowledge. 

When you graduate from our program you will become a Master Certified Nutrition and Wellness Coach.

This is where your scope of practice comes in! A Nutrition and Wellness Coach does not diagnose, prescribe, or directly treat chronic conditions, practice Medical Nutrition Therapy, or prescribe meal plans. These fall under the scope of practice of a Registered Dietitian/Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN).

When it comes to meal plans, we provide you with ready to use meal plans created by RD/RDNs which you CAN use with your clients, as well as food lists and meal planning tools for different health benefits and wellness goals which you can use to make suggestions to your clients as well depending on their food preferences. 

When exploring job opportunities beyond opening your own business, it will depend on the requirements listed in the job description on whether or not it is within your scope of practice. Do not let this discourage you! Many students have made jobs for themselves with local institutions, companies, and businesses where a job didn’t previously exist by sharing their skills and knowledge. 

Here are some actual jobs our students & grads have done that have either directly provided or led to financial compensation::

• Open your own nutrition and wellness coaching business (virtual or in-person). You can provide a variety of services including, but not limited to: Pantry/kitchen makeovers and organization, grocery store tours/assistance, recipe sharing, weekly meal prep services or guides, etc.
• Organize wellness retreats and ticketed events
• Work with a local business (pilates studio, gym, yoga studio, healthy grocery store, etc.) to offer nutrition and wellness coaching services to their customers/audience
• Partner with integrative wellness practices and work alongside doctors, acupuncturists, mental health experts, and more
• Start and monetize podcast
• Write and sell a book
• Launch a media website
• Become a food blogger with a lucrative following
• Write and product a paid newsletter subscription for recipes, shopping lists, and more
• Host a local news segment and become a wellness correspondent or contributor
• Start a food company
• Develop a wellness app 
• Work at a local school in their wellness department… AND MORE!!!

You’ll be able to start coaching clients and building your business before you’ve even completed the entire program! You’ll have the nutrition, coaching, and business knowledge you need, as well as the credential of a Nutritious Life Certified Nutrition and Wellness Coach, upon completion of the first part of the program—the Foundational program—which can be 1 or 2 months from when you begin the course. 

Many of our students start their business at this point, begin coaching clients, and pay off their tuition before they graduate!

The amount of money you can earn varies depending on where you live, what type of coaching service you plan to offer, and what additional credentials you may have. However, as an example, if you offer an 8 week package for 6 people, you could make the equivalent of your tuition after only 8 weeks. On average Certified Nutrition and Wellness Coaches make between $100 – 250 per hour.

Yes! There are no borders to helping people live more nutritious lives! We have thousands of students and alumni from dozens of countries around the world—one more reason why becoming a Nutritious Life Master Certified Nutrition and Wellness Coach is such an amazing, global experience.

As a graduate, you will be a part of a large and continuously growing network of wellness professionals. The resources you take with you from the course are yours to keep for life. You will receive insider discounts and exclusive access to future webinars, and top-of-the-list access to further one-on-one coaching with Keri and the entire Nutritious Life Team. As a trusted alumnus, you will have the opportunity to write articles for the Webby-nominated Nutritious Life website. You will also receive exclusive invitations to alumni events including the one-of-a-kind Nutritious Life Masterclass, and most importantly you will be continuing your relationship with the Nutritious Life Studio family! The Nutritious Life Team is with you every step of your journey and long after you’ve earned your certification. We’re in this for the long haul with you! You’ll build lifelong friendships, find business partners and collaborators, and create your network of connections that will be with you for a lifetime. Completing your certification doesn’t mean it’s just the end of the course, but rather the beginning of our long-term relationship together!

The Become a Nutrition Coach Program course tuition is normally retailed at $5,999. We encourage you to join a live workshop, or schedule a call with an program advisor to also hear about tuition savings opportunities!

We strive to make the Nutritious Life Studio as affordable as possible for anyone ready to invest in their education, so you have the option to invest in full or via a payment plan. We offer two different payment plan options through PayPal and Affirm that help make it easier for you to enroll as soon as you’re ready and become part of our community.
